Summary:
I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post in leftymemes community. It was LLM generated polandball comic (Which is objectively pathetic as fuck) that showed up on my feed, blocked couple of users who I thought were unhinged, and have blocked the whole instance on my client after realizing how rabid these morons are.
I didn't go looking for AI posts like a vigilante.
One user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.
Yes, but also quite anarchist(at least from what I have seen) and this is more abuse of power in my opinion.
I agree. This is less an AI problem and more of a singular abuse of power from an individual of the instance inside their moderated communities. I wouldn't tack it on to the whole instance itself. Plenty are here for pro-anarchy or, like myself, just pro-piracy (in the case of giant corporate powerhouses charging disgusting prices for games and "ad-less" tier streaming services). I wouldn't necessarily call myself an anarchist, though I do align with some of it's views, but I wouldn't call myself anything else, either. I pretty much just don't enjoy politics.
This is a clear case of mod harassment, rather than instance harassment. But if the only thing they can do is ban OP from instances they don't even want to see... well, they didn't accomplish much. So much so, that this could get legitimately posted in "Saved You a Click". However, its good to put antics like these in the spotlight. Some people need to be power checked.
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com tends to side with the pro-AI side, it's not very neutral
Yup as evidence by db0's behavior when I crossposted this thread there, first thing he did was to accuse me of sowing drama, then act condescending as fuck. And they have the audacity to call us neolibs?
